00:00:05.120 - 00:00:14.880

All right, so this is Ken Rose, we are at Petworth Porchfest. Um, do I have permission to record this interview? Definitely. Yes. State your name.

00:00:16.160 - 00:00:22.480

Kayla Wiggins. My name is Zay. Okay. And what event are we at today? We're at Petworth Porchfest.

00:00:24.000 - 00:00:36.320

What are we doing here at Petworth Porchfest? Go ahead Kayla, take it away. We had a segment on porch 4107. Um, we are One Worship Music Group DMV. All right. And how did y'all get into this, uh, line of work?

00:00:37.000 - 00:01:23.930

This, uh, we're a group that just love to worship, we're a group that just love, worship and give God the glory. Um, we want to participate in Petworth Porchfest about, this be our fifth year this year. Um, and we also do Adams Morgan as well. Uh, definitely tap into our Instagram followers @oneworshipDMV. Uh, my name is Zay, I'm the manager. This is Kayla. Yes, I'm Kayla. You know, you're all about worship. I was listening to some of the songs, brought me back to my childhood. I already know what was going on over there. So what is the connection between music and faith that you all have? So, I feel like music drives faith. So, music touches people in different ways than just talking. So, it sparks your faith and letting you know that God is everything. God is above all things, and he's all-knowing and powerful.

00:01:24.810 - 00:01:56.770

And we also take another approach because it's not just about religion. As you see, we kind of add like some hip-hop feels, some R&B grooves and all music as well, just to reach the people, no matter the age, no matter the, the gender, no matter the race, we try to reach all generations and the generations way, way out to us. Oh, and how has God driven your love, your personal love, your experience? How has God. Whether it's, you know, growing up in church or you had an experience, that kind of thing to music, you think God is kind of like a way.

00:01:57.410 - 00:03:09.230

So, I actually grew up in church. I started in the choir and then I went into the youth praise team. So being in the youth praise team, it just helped me to grow closer to God and actually minister to the people and just work on my relationship with Him one-on-one. Uh, like I just said, my main thing and our goal is just to reach the generations, to create a positive message, let people know you don't have to be, um, a certain way to, you know, worship a higher power, a higher God, whatever your God may be. But, um, the love that we got from is just reaching the generations. We see how many youth we inspire, how many adults we inspired and just, just nonstop from that. So that's how I create my love and passion for it as well. I know y'all are on the way out, but really quick, you wanted to plug in the event that you're going to when they come on the next upcoming events. We got the, we got three events, um, One Worship DMV, we're dropping a R&B album soon. We'll be in the R&B studio next month. Um. Today we got to go sing at another church, so we got to get out of here, so we're going to be real quick. And then also, if you turn flip the camera, it's my drummer's birthday, so he's performing tonight as well, so we got a lot of events. Um, so definitely tap into our Instagram, @oneworshipDMV. Thanks for having us. Thank you for all for doing a good interview and great interview. Thank you, thank y'all.
